NEWS: The NAFTA Superhighway Is Going To Kill Our Babies

POLITICS: The NAFTA Superhighway Is Going To Kill Our Babies

Dear, God. Have you heard? The NAFTA Superhighway is coming and it will destroy America. What is it? Glad you asked, citizen. The Superhighway is a series of giant highways that will allow cargo and laborers to move freely throughout North America. The proposed super highway would run along Interstate 35, from Mexico to Canada and will be four football fields wide.

The Superhighway will start in Mexico at a new port that is being built. This will enable companies to use cheap port labor to unload products from Asia. Many of the roads will be built by Red China. It will create a “SmartPort” in Kansas City, which is basically an inland port that will handle Mexican customs and inspections. A foreign customs operation in Kansas fucking City!

Scariest of all is the ultimate plan behind the Superhighway: To destroy the sovereignty of the United States and create a North American Union.

The extremely sensible Lou Dobbs explained the situation to America.



Wow. Take a moment to absorb the words of Virgil Goode. You know you have a quality story on your hands when you invite the biggest idiot in the US House of Representatives to speak for the cause. I’m going to assume Virgil is also worried about Sauron, Grendel and Cyclops – because just like those things, the NAFTA Superhighway is NOT REAL. It is a mythical beast that has been created by the lunatic right wing and a lot of people now believe it is true.

Aside from Lou Dobbs, who is an embarrassment to journalism, no legitimate news organization has covered the subject of the Superhighway, because it is not real. All information is coming from the always reliable WorldNetDaily and the John Birch Society. You know if the John Birch Society is breaking a story that it must be true. It’s where I go for news.

But Americans are scared. They are writing letters to the editor of their local newspapers and questioning why the story is being ignored. People are phoning and emailing their Congressional and state lawmakers demanding they put a stop to the Superhighway. Some idiotic politicians have responded, even though there is no evidence that it exists. The king of all dipshits, Ron Paul, wrote up a nice article about the not real Superhighway.

Vote for Ron Paul, he will stop things that are not real! Another pathetic presidential candidate, Duncan Hunter, went as far as to include an amendment in the Transportation Appropriations Act.

Nice work, moron. Now, if you could please pass a law against ghosts. They are totally freaking me out and the Ghostbusters have not been seen for quite some time.

The SPP is one of the bogeymen of the Superhighway myth. According to the right wing lunatics, the SPP is a terrifying global organization that is attempting to create a European Union style government in North America. They believe the SPP will control the entire continent. In reality, it is a partnership that was created to synchronize customs, security and regulations between Canada, Mexico and the US. But facts have not stopped the SPP from being bombarded with accusations and lies. It has become such a problem that the SPP has been forced to create a "Myths vs. Facts" page on their website.

Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Market Access and Compliance David Bohigian explained some of the American destroying work the SPP does.

That’s not true, fucker! The John Birch Society knows the truth! And so does the Stop SPP website! They know Bush is attempting to create an EU type of North America Union – without the people’s approval! It is all going to happen secretly! It’s exactly like the EU, except that the countries in the EU voted for their inclusion. So, it's different, but exactly the same.

Another big demon in the Superhighway myth is the North America SuperCorridor Organization (NASCO). NASCO is scary as shit. It is a coalition of businesses and state and local transportation agencies who are attempting to get the most out of the country’s infrastructure, so businesses can make money. They want the government to create big, giant roads, so they can drive big trucks around quickly. It is the kind of thing that ALL businesses do in an attempt to maximize profit. And they have an enormous full-time staff of three people.

The Superhighway myth was accidentally started at a NASCO conference in 2004, when Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta said:

NASCO thought that was a nifty description and someone decided to put a map up on their website with the same routes Mineta talked about drawn in different colors.



The right wing freaked out, took the map and spread it around the Internet, claiming it was plans for the NAFTA Superhighway. In reality, it was a map of what already exists, not plans for gigantic highways.

Another scary piece of the Superhighway puzzle is the Mexican port of Lázaro Cárdenas. The port is Mexico’s only deepwater port and it is currently undergoing upgrades because bringing cargo into Los Angeles and Long Beach is more expensive due to unions. They are also very congested ports. It’s simple business, not a conspiracy. A couple of years ago the unions shut down the port of Long Beach. An alternate port in Mexico is the logical answer. You make your own monsters. The port will, of course, use the Superhighway to bring cargo into the US and ruin America.

The last boogeyman is the Kansas City Smart Port. The Smart Port is an “inland port” that is meant to increase Kansas City’s business.

One aspect of the port is to place a Mexican Customs official in Kansas City. The right wing jumped on this. An inland port! A Mexican customs officer in Kansas City! My God! It’s like a Mexican funnel! Of course, none of the right wing lunatics realized the Mexican customs official is only there to inspect Mexico-bound freight, so it does not get held up at the border. It is not a port that allows Mexicans to enter the country hundreds of miles inside the US.

But the most ridiculous part of the Superhighway myth is the width of the beast. The conspiracy nuts claim the highway will be four football fields wide. This is nothing short of retarded. Currently in LA CalTrans is attempting to widen the 405 by two lanes. The amount of opposition is huge. Now imagine how Americans would flip out over a four-football fields wide highway running right up the middle of the country. What state would be idiotic enough to allow something so huge and destructive to cross their state? Well, except Texas.

Texas Governor Rick Perry is trying to create the Trans-Texas Corridor. It will be four football fields wide in some places. It will also be a private toll road, but opposition to the TTC is huge. It was one of the biggest issues of the 2006 Governor election, which Perry won with 39% of the vote. Texas GOP and Democrats passed a bill to kill the TTC, but Perry vetoed the legislation. If anything, the TTC is living on borrowed time. But it’s also in Texas, so who gives a shit.

Thankfully, that won’t stop the lunatics from screaming about America losing its sovereignty because of the mythical NAFTA Superhighway. And because the Superhighway does not exist, groups like the John Birch Society can keep yelling that it’s being built “under the radar” without “Congressional approval.” Yay, America!

why do you hate the amero ?

edit: thank god you posted this, one of my friends has been blathering on about the north american union, and since it isn't real i couldn't find anything to refute him.

If it is a toll road does that mean no speed limit? Rock on!

Habla espanol?

Next you're going to tell me that the Boogeyman is really either.

The boogeyman is real, but don't worry.... he's afraid of Chuck Norris!

All i've got to say.

Wow... I'm supposed to be one of those conservative nutjobs and even I'm fucking baffled that anyone believed this for a minute let alone that CNN (who has apparently sold their brains along with their souls) would report on it. Fuck... a couple of nutbar politicians start getting cocky and calling their highway projects "nafta corridors" and people lose their shit.

http://www.keeptexasmoving.com/ There's your superhighway... Scary shit, right? Bah.

boogeymen are very useful to the powers that be,

actually, i care about the ttc. it would go through my city

I'm actually building the corridor myself with a plastic shovel and bucket kit I got at the dollar store.

I for one welcome our new masters. Hail...wait, who are we hailing again?

Amerixidians?

i don't see another fucking toll road going over very well 'round here.

Isn't this a way to get past using American ports? How is that good for America?

the ttc is bullshit and all too real... plus perry wants to stick us with the bill. what kind of bullshit election lets someone win an election without a majority anyway?

Mexinadicans?

My libertarian wet-dream is completely open borders: a free market for governance, to help even the score on globalisations free movement of capital across borders

Most of the reason we don't do it seems to be racism and xenophobia

Oh, Ron Paul. Your crazy unfounded statements never disappoint.

This is the free market at work, so how is it bad?

Exactly.

I think that a North American Union, which these people are so afraid of, would be a good thing for all parties involved. Mexico needs all the economic help it can get. Am I crazy?

and that if we open our borders then terrorists will flock into the united states like africanized honey bees and flu ridden fowl....because terrorists aren't in the US right now...no they plan from afar and then sneak it right before they attack

like zombies.

Is this related to the "Information Superhighway" I keep hearing about? I don't want to lose all our knowledge to some third-world country!

just another nail in americas coffin from the globalist who run this country.
